I am not sure whether 10 minutes of Rust would give you actionable info, I mean it certainly takes longer to get familiar with the basics in almost any language, even if the 10 minutes just stands for a short amount of time.
- falcor84 10y agoI assumed "new users" implied relatively new users (before they grew to love the language enough to accept the downsides), not absolute beginners
- pekk 10y agoThings happen even in the first 10 minutes. It's not appropriate to limit user studies only to people who are already experts.
- dllthomas 10y agoBut it's also questionable to limit them to people who are not, depending on what you want to accomplish.
